picture of The Old Fire StationIf, like us, you prefer sitting with a pint in a cosy pub, perhaps with a real fire in the background and a pub quiz planned for later that evening, you may be tempted to walk straight past the Old Fire Station. However, to do so would be to miss a treat. The building itself is interesting - it was until recently (you've guessed it) the local fire station and is full of period Victorian features (even if the tiles do make it look a bit like a swimming pool). Friendly staff serve an array of draft beers, including comparative rarities like New Zealand's Steinlager, and the fire station theme is kept throughout - from the sections on the pub grub menu to the innovative gents urinals. Well worth a look for something a bit different.
